Mortal Kombat 1 has thrilled fans with back-to-back video releases. Just yesterday, the esports trailer featured a brief glimpse of the T-1000, sparking excitement. However, the next fighter to join the roster isn't the iconic Terminator. Instead, Conan the Barbarian, the legendary warrior, will be making his debut next week, exclusively for premium edition owners. Today, the MK1 team unveiled an action-packed gameplay trailer showcasing this iconic character.

In the trailer, Conan emerges as a quintessential Big-Body brute. His powerful attacks likely pack a significant punch, though his agility and speed might leave something to be desired. To counter this, his sword seems to offer an extended reach, which could prove advantageous in combat. It would be fascinating to watch Conan go head-to-head with other heavyweights like General Shao, Omni-Man, and Homelander.

While Conan's appearance strikingly resembles Arnold Schwarzenegger, his fatality might not leave fans in awe. The move involves drowning the opponent in a pool of acid, which, while brutal, lacks the flair seen in some of MK1's other fatalities. Nevertheless, the game's appeal extends beyond its finishing moves, and Conan the Barbarian is poised to offer engaging gameplay experiences.

Premium edition holders can get their hands on Conan next Tuesday, while everyone else will need to wait until January 28 to experience this legendary warrior in action.
